Anything by Scott Cunningham is very good. An easy read is anything by Kate West, also pretty informative. If you want to know the basics with good explanations is An Idiots Guide to Wicca. Blessed Be.

Well, "H", you have been given many names to great books, that will help you in your knowledge of Wicca. In fact, some of the books presented to you by "Sprout" weren't known to me, so I will have to buy them.
Blessed Be.

Ah yes, Kate West has a very good book, excellent for introductory reading.
Then if you want to learn more grab a copy of Silver Ravenwolf's 'Solidatry Witch: A Book of Shadows for the New Generation'. I love that book!
